- My name is Adjei and I am a musician from Edmonton, Canada. My instruments of choice are guitar, bass, and drums. In terms of tastes I’m into everything from classical to heavy metal, from folk to jazz and whatever lies between. I am currently a solo musician and all the works posted here are written, arranged, and recorded by me.
- In 2008 I began working on what would become my first full length album “Soul Of A Man”. It’s an eclectic mix of songs capturing my wandering musical eye which also features my first attempt at singing over top of my songs. These works are all written, recorded, & produced by me using my simple home studio setup & recording programs. Having no access to a proper recording facility for drums & percussion, I utilized free live drum loops available via the internet & edited them for more realism. I officially finished the album in the summer of 2009 & began streaming it online. “Soul Of A Man” has been available for purchase online since Fall 2010.
- 2010 saw the writing & recording of my second album “In Session”. It’s a collection of instrumental jazz/jam tracks born of various influences and styles. Some of the tracks do have lyrics associated with them but my intention this time out was an instrumental album so vocal version will come along at some point in the future. Again all tracks are original compositions with the exception of the track “Acknowledgement” which is a blues jam rendition of the John Coltrane track by the same name off his album “A Love Supreme”. The guitar & bass work you hear is me playing, the drums & percussion are live loops edited for more realism. “In Session” is also available for sale & has been since Spring 2011.
